|
Alphameric Solutions Ltd, the leading technology provider to the bookmaking marketplace, today announced that it will freeze prices on both software and hardware purchases at the 2008 levels through to the end of December 31, 2009. Alphameric has committed to maintaining its 2008 prices throughout 2009 for existing customers. New customers will also have access to the current 2008 prices. “Our slowing economy is having a pronounced impact across the whole of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and many of our customers will have been affected in various ways as well," says Alan Morcombe, Chief Executive of Alphameric. "We are committed to working with our customers in a way that's relevant to their real business problems. We have already introduced Cyclops, Alphameric’s fully managed Video Switching Service that enables independent bookmakers who use the Alphameric bureau service to switch their central televisions screens between TurfTV and SIS pictures, which previously many saw as a problem. We have also introduced a new data service for Independent Bookmakers which enables them to receive comprehensive TurfTV data, including UK horseracing, South African horse racing and virtual horse and dog racing, which has not previously been available via the Alphameric and SIS managed services. This new data service will ensure that independent bookmakers using Alphameric’s managed service are able to compete on level terms with the major bookmakers who have been able to access TurfTV data from its inception.” ALBOS III is the most functionality rich display systems on the market and with a new cost effective EPOS solution available now, Alphameric are in no way scaling back on product development or services. Alphameric will continue to provide Bookmakers with the same high level of support and product offerings, while assisting in keeping their expenses from increasing during 2009. - Ends - |
